Constructing Country‐Specific Debt Indices for Developing Countries
ABSTRACT Contemporary crises continue to keep governments in protracted periods of borrowing, increasing the stock and flow of sovereign indebtedness. Especially for developing economies and small states, singular metrics of public debt such as the debt‐to‐GDP ratio may not reflect the country's true debt position.

Elite male race walkers underwent a 5 d dietary intervention of either high carbohydrate (HCHO), low‐carbohydrate high‐fat (LCHF), or low energy availability (LEA) to evaluate their metabolomic response. Following a standardized 25 km endurance walk, blood samples were collected across five timepoints, ranging from a fasted state to 3 h post‐exercise ...

Effects of a military cargo pod and tail fins on the aerodynamic characteristics of a large wide-body transport model [PDF]
Wind tunnel tests were conducted on a 0.03 scale model of a large wide-body commercial aircraft to determine the effects on the static aerodynamic characteristics resulting from the attachment of a belly pod for the long-range deployment of outsize ...

The international ocean transport industry in crisis : assessing the reasons and outlook [PDF]
Until 1980, the world merchant fleet expanded rapidly in response to thriving seatrade markets. Since then, it has not grown much. The industry did not adjust effectively to periodic global recession, and the fleet's earnings deteriorated as the gap ...

Numerical simulation of liquid sloshing in LNG tanks using a compressible two-fluid flow model
In this investigation the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations are modified to account for variable density and viscosity of the two-fluids flow (i.e. water-air), assuming both fluids compressible.

Transverse field effect in graphene ribbons
It is shown that a graphene ribbon, a ballistic strip of carbon monolayer, may serve as a quantum wire whose electronic properties can be continuously and reversibly controlled by an externally applied transverse voltage.
